"The letters provide a nostalgic timeline of American history

told through the words and feelings of Americans, from regular

folks to kings." —Star Gazette, Elmira, NY, Dec. '05

"There are more than 80 letters, reflecting both our history and

our very American sense that when we speak, our president should

listen." —The Arizona Republic, Dec. '05

Drawn from the extensive holdings of the National Archives—which

includes all of the Presidential libraries—these carefully chosen

letters remind us that ours is a government "of the people, by the

people, and for the people," which entitles us to make our views

known to our leaders. Most of the letters come from working

citizens; others were written by notable figures: John Glenn, Elvis

Presley, Walt Disney, Ho Chi Minh, Nikita Kruschev, Upton Sinclair,

John Steinbeck, Robert Kennedy, and many more.

Grouped thematically, the sections cover such topics as civil

rights, the Cold War, physical fitness, joblessness, World War II,

western expansion, and the space race. An introduction by NBC

Nightly News anchor Brian Williams and essays by Dwight Young evoke

the tenor of the times in which the letters were written. A

wonderful gift book for any American, Dear Mr. President is both

enlightening and fun to read.
